Projects require creative, analytical thinking skills, and the ability to *ask* questions.
Our children are taught in elementary school to *answer* questions, in classes that
are structured to DISconnect subjects (such as language from math, which is why kids
freak out when presented with word problems in math class). Analytical thinking is stifled
from an early age. What do I see as the greatest challenge to project-based learning? The status quo of our current school system.
